How can I get cell A1 to show trailing zeros?

I've entered =CONCATENATE(A1," inches")

When A1 equals 1.50 or .060 it displays 1.5 inches or .06 inches

I need those missing zeros!
THANKS

How about

=CONCATENATE(TEXT(A1,"0.000")," inches")

or

=TEXT(A1,"0.000") & " inches"

Alternatively, you can format cell A1 as CUSTOM

Type - 0.000 "inches"

That works, thanks! How about this? Is there a way to contol the number of
decimal places in that string? IE if its 1.500 i'd like to show 1.50 but if
it's .060 i'd like to show .060 any ideas?

Yes there is, but you will first have to state the rules by which you want to
determine the number of decimal places in the result.
